Supreme Court takes crime lab reports case
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether prosecutors can use crime lab reports as evidence without having the forensic analyst who prepared them testify at trial.
The reliability of crime labs has been questioned in several states and at the federal level in recent years.
State and federal courts have come to different conclusions about whether recent Supreme Court decisions affirming the constitutional right of a defendant to confront his accusers extend to lab reports that are used in many drug cases.
The justices declined a separate case from Iowa, raising a similar question about the use of videotaped interviews in child sex abuse cases.

As fall approaches, the pumpkins sprout, and the horror titles will arrive in the DVD Shopping Bag. Over the next several months, a cornucopia of titles will surface. Many will be the rehashes in new packages with the same old special features that now grace the $5.00 bin at Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Target. Since we love our horror here at Mania, I thought I would spotlight a growing surge in my collection. One that may overtake my Criterion titles with a shelf of their own.
While writing the DVD Shopping Bag Column for the past 5 years, I have acquired numerous Horror and Sci-Fi titles. Not so long go, Shout! Factory obtained the rights to distribute numerous titles from Roger Corman's New World Productions. These films were banished for decades to VHS oblivion with no special treatment whatsoever. Shout! Factory gave them not only a proper transfer, but supplied special features and retrospectives, as well. For many fans, just having these films on DVD is enough. Now, here they are on Blu-ray with multiple covers and behind the scenes features that haven't been seen for years. Science Fiction films, though, are not for everyone. Some people just love to have their blood curdle with fear. Thankfully, in 2012, Shout! Factory launched Scream Factory!

That's perfect for Jappie wear, where can I buy this?
Posted this weekend!
I've not seen it at any stockists and the boutique in Antwerp only had a handful available. Other Shop in London have a version for women in navy but beyond that I don't know if it's readily available. I've also seen a similarly cut piece in the same fabric but in pull-over form rather than an open cardigan at a different stockist in Brussels.
How tall are you? I'm looking at the V and I'm 5'6".

Duplicate Bridge, also called Tournament Bridge, form of Contract Bridge played in all tournaments, in Bridge clubs, and often in the home; it is so called because each hand is played at least twice, although by different players, under the same conditions, with the same cards in each hand and the same dealer and vulnerability. Duplicate Bridge was designed to counter the major obstacle of Rubber Bridge—i.e., that a run of good cards can nullify any difference between skillful and poor players. Since in Duplicate Bridge all players sitting in the same position will play the same cards throughout the course of a night, the object of play is not to amass the largest number of points, as in Rubber Bridge, but rather to bid and play the hands better than all the other pairs who play them; thus, it is immaterial whether one holds good or bad cards.
Alternate title:
Tournament Bridge

Germany: Woman has to be a hooker or get her benefits cut by the German government.
A 25-year-old waitress who turned down a job providing "sexual services'' at a brothel in Berlin faces possible cuts to her unemployment benefit under laws introduced this year. Prostitution was legalised in Germany just over two years ago and brothel owners – who must pay tax and employee health insurance – were granted access to official databases of jobseekers. The waitress, an unemployed information technology professional, had said that she was willing to work in a bar at night and had worked in a cafe. She received a letter from the job centre telling her that an employer was interested in her "profile'' and that she should ring them. Only on doing so did the woman, who has not been identified for legal reasons, realise that she was calling a brothel. Under Germany's welfare reforms, any woman under 55 who has been out of work for more than a year can be forced to take an available job – including in the sex industry – or lose her unemployment benefit. Last month German unemployment rose for the 11th consecutive month to 4.5 million, taking the number out of work to its highest since reunification in 1990. The government had considered making brothels an exception on moral grounds, but decided that it would be too difficult to distinguish them from bars. As a result, job centres must treat employers looking for a prostitute in the same way as those looking for a dental nurse. "....There is now nothing in the law to stop women from being sent into the sex industry," said Merchthild Garweg, a lawyer from Hamburg who specialises in such cases. "The new regulations say that working in the sex industry is not immoral any more, and so jobs cannot be turned down without a risk to benefits." |

I don't think there is any question he will be an ILB (Foreman's spot) for us.
No way do we ask a 238 pound guy that struggles with blockers to take OTs head on.
I think it will be Babin - Greenwood - Sharper - Peek/Wong next season. Wong will be restructured or released after this season- same with Foreman.
I think it is a good signing. It gives us good speed at ILB, which we were desperate for. It also gives us an ILB that can cover. We were abused repeatedly by our ILB coverage. Fangio's scheme requires lots of coverage from the LB spots and Greenwood perfectly fits this. He's young and about to enter the prime of his career.
After I got over the sticker shock of his contract, it really doesn't look all that bad. After the third year I expect we will restructure.

Medicare fraud busters unveil command center
Source: Associated Press
Medicare fraud busters unveil command center KELLI KENNEDY, Associated Press, RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR, Associated Press Updated 02:26 a.m., Wednesday, August 1, 2012 BALTIMORE (AP) Federal fraud busters invited the news media to visit their new $3.6 million command center and watch staffers explain how they'll jump on unfolding Medicare scams. While the action on the tour Tuesday wasn't real, the problem is more than $60 billion a year is lost to fraud. And two Republican senators immediately questioned whether the new multimillion-dollar facility is just throwing more money away. Sens. Orrin Hatch of Utah and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma said the Obama administration isn't providing enough information about new computer systems being used to identify suspicious Medicare and Medicaid billings and as a result, no one can tell how well they're working. Computerized screening of claims is at the heart of the command center's mission. ~snip~ The two Republicans may have more than congressional oversight in mind. In an election year, Medicare fraud is an issue with older voters because it speaks to the Obama administration's stewardship of the program.

13. 3.6 mil to save 60 bil annually, gee, wonder if it is worth it.
And don't tell Orrin Hatch of all people how it works, he is the snake in the grass. Medicare fraud is a huge, complex problem, and not just in a monetary sense either. Once you have a provider making easy money through fraud, that provider may focus more on cash than care.

Google introduces the "Next Dimension" of Maps coming to Android and iOS
Attendees to the even were treated to several history lessons as well as demonstrations of upcoming features. Google detailed the outreach and humanitarian benefits, including a touching story about an Amazon chief who approached Google about getting his tribe onto Google Earth to help their plight, saying it was time for his tribe to lay down their bows and arrows and pick up laptops (see photo below).
Google also touted the role that Google Earth played in the Hurricane Katrina rescue operations – their quickly updated satelite imagery of the flooded areas, combined with street data (that was otherwise underwater) and the ability to pull latitude and longitude from those services allowed for rescue responders to quickly pinpoint the locations of people calling to be rescued. Google Maps outreach engineer Rebecca Moore said that rescuers later credited them for helping them to save over 4,000 individuals.
Of course in the fast-moving world of technology consumers are more often interested in what is coming next, rather than past accomplishments, and Google demonstrated several new and upcoming abilities. Google Maps offline caching appears headed for the mainstream with an easier to use UI, and the Street View team demonstrated their latest device – a packet of cameras that can be worn like an oversized back pack. This will let Google add National Parks, historical monuments, and even ski trails to the 20 petabytes of images Google has already accumulated in its attempt at comprehensive coverage.
Apple is expected to demo its version of 3D maps at WWDC in a matter of days, so naturally Google pulled out its own 3D maps demonstration. Project Manager Peter Birch explained how Google's version of 3D maps are created, explaining that airplanes fitted with the proper photogrammetry devices can fly over a city in a grid, allowing computers to extract 3D models from the data. Those models are then processed into lower resolution polygon models that are mapped with photographic data, and can then be served to computers and mobile devices anywhere.
The demonstration of the resulting map on an Android tablet was impressive – trees, cars, and other objects were rendered in 3D, with no textures lying on the ground underneath the 3D models. It's clear the feature has a couple of stability bugs waiting to be worked out – the app crashed and had to be restarted more than once during a rapid flyover of San Francisco - but when it worked (which to be fair was most of the demo) the results were very impressive.
The first cities with this full 3D treatment will be rolling out in "a matter of weeks", so Google appears confident that they can get it ready for prime time quickly. The biggest surprise has to be that it will be made available on both iOS and Android; clearly Google has no intention of ceding the iPhone mapping market to Apple. While the current Apple Maps app was written by Apple using Google's back end, soon iOS users will get to choose between apps that are written from scratch by the two tech behemoths. And that sort of competition can only be a good thing for consumers.

I've seen the same like map in Nokia maps too (not sure though), I mean the 3D photo of the buildings..
10. Hlorri (Posts: 40; Member since: 07 May 2008)
Yes, this is true. If you go tohttp://maps.nokia.com/ and choose "3D View", you will be able to adjust the viewing angle from the default 90° downwards as if you were flying over the terrain.
If you also choose to get direction, you can "Take a 3D flight along your route".
Pretty cool stuff!

Lol, now Google is DEFINITELY like "in b4 Apple."
It sounds like Maps will continue to get better and better. I just hope that the 3D maps will be more detailed than a few polygons. The Arch here in Saint Louis is NOT a gigantic square slab.

on the flip side I was buzzing over DC in Google maps and the 3d is pretty darn detailed for the main buildings in the capital. even has the trees and fountains in 3d.

This is great. But i was thinking that it might help video game developers and movie makers if the data was free to use in that way.

Apples dropping of Google maps, the defacto standard in maps for zillions (already with street view, sat view, indoor view and now 3d) is further proof of Apple wasting money and resources on iCrap that does not need to be controlled by them!
This maps move by Apple should piss of more and more of the herd who are already seeing how Apple uses and abuses them year after year with incremental upgrades and less features than the competition....
9. remixfa (Posts: 14254; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
google maps on iOS is just basic map services. Its not 1/10th of what we get on Android. You know its bad when TomTom is getting away with charging $60 bux for an iOS app.. and making tons of money on it.
The good news, if you read, is that Google will now be free to make a separate app instead of all the built in iOS BS that they had to deal with before, which means if they wanted to, they could give iOS users full G-Maps like Android users have, and beat apple at their own game.. on their own OS. That is unless Apple locks them out, which I kinda see coming.

What I would like to see is Google Maps showing the elevation of streets. I live in a hilly city and would like to see a 3D relief map feature.

Somehow this potential clash of these two tech titans is not the biggest form of competition today. Can Jonathan Quick bring the Kings the cup (probably the most unlikely playoff runs in any sport in at least the last 20 years) and pull off something the Great one couldn't or will Martin Brodeur bring the Devils back from a three game deficit. Thumbs up for a Kings sweep ending tonight thumbs down for the Devils prolonging their probable loss of the cup (Thumb positions were assigned randomly).

SAK farmer.....a classic. Cannot go wrong with one. Great review!
SAK farmer.....a classic. Cannot go wrong with one. Great review!
Excellent review Joe! I love my Farmer!
Typical. EDC knives has to be below 7 cm and not lock in Denmark. Unless they're used for an "acceptable" task, which of course lies at the LEO's discretion. But generally, fixed blade knives larger pocket knives, and locking knives, are allowed if you're going fishing, hiking, hunting, diving, or working where you need it, and you transport it -directly- from the place you used it, to you home.
Not sure I will buy a farmer, just for woods use, but I'm tempted!
I carry my Farmer everyday. I was close to getting the U.S. knife, but find the saw very useful.
Nice tuque and shades, eh.
Dig the knife and review too. Nice job, joruff.

I second that, my 13yr old son gave me one for Christmas. For some reason I find it easier to use the back of the saw to strike the ferro rod.

Decade of Darkness Comments
Aha, I see what you mean. I thought you were referring to the green tendrils and asking if the entity was still active.
Yes, the game is still going but we have now switched to a new Keeper and new adventure but still set in the same in-game miniverse, i.e. The US in 1920. When that adventure comes to an end, the post of Keeper will rotate again. Hope this helps!
Alessandro's bio refers to the start of the adventure when he was just a humble barista and knew nothing of eldritch Things. Since his experiences at the Majestic, I think he might want to review that bio.
As for whether it's still active, I couldn't possibly comment!
So, if Alessandro has never encountered a supernatural entity, what were those green tendrils of stuff crawling out of the vents? Also, is this still active?

Apple's annual developer conference in San Francisco.
Google CEO Eric Schmidt Accepted No Salary or Stock for Apple Board Service
Schmidt's decision not to be paid for his Apple service differs from the compensation plan Apple put in place for directors in 1997, around the time Steve Jobs returned as CEO. Under the plan, Apple grants outside directors the option to acquire 30,000 Apple shares. The options vest over three years. For every year after that, directors are granted options to purchase an additional 10,000 shares, which vest immediately.
Additionally, Apple pays directors an annual fee of $50,000, in quarterly increments of $12,500. Apple filings show that Schmidt, from the beginning of his service as a director in 2006, declined both the retainer fee and the stock options.
Like Jobs at Apple, Schmidt accepts only a $1 per year salary for his CEO position at Google, and has also declined stock options for the past several years.

Have only been using program for a few days, but love it.
However, the main problem I have is that any changes I make in this program to tags is not easily reflected the XBMC library. I have scraper set to local nfo files. I have to change the scraper to something else, eg TMDB, and then back to local nfo for the chanes to come through. With over a 100 movies this takes a while.
I am doing something wrong? What settings should I be using?
I am using XBMC 13 beta 3

Have not used XBMC13 yet, but TMM just writes the tag into the NFO file.
IIRC, up to Frodo the issue is, that updates to NFOs are not found while doing a (re-)scan in XBMC. You need to remove the movie completely from the XBMC library (or force an reload via the JSON webservice) This might apply to XBMC13 aswell...?! (JSON update is on our long to-do list) |

Tutankhamun has mesmerized the world ever since Howard Carter's dramatic discovery of his treasure-filled tomb in the Valley of the Kings in 1922, a priceless trove that casts a spell on everyone that sees it. In this richly illustrated book, Egypt's leading archaeologist, Zahi Hawass, chronicles the Boy King and the royal dynasty that bred him.
Tut's grandfather, the Sun King Amenhotep III, married queen Tiye before they reached their teens, then ruled for 40 years. Their heretical son, Akhenaten, abandoned Egypt's pantheon to worship a single god; his wife Nefertiti is still remembered as one of history's legendary beauties. Tutankhamun ascended the throne as a child and died before the age of 20,, but the splendor of his brief reign and the sensational unearthing of his tomb have made him the most famous of all the pharaohs.
This authoritative text is highlighted by scores of stunning photographs, including archival images from the first great era of Egyptian archaeology, when Carter and other Westerners reawakened the world to the golden glory of the ancient civilization explored in this dazzling book.

abstract |
Recent developments in photovoltaic (PV) project finance have
reinforced the need for investigating the preferences of and
criteria applied by banks and equity investors in such renewable
power generation projects. In 2009, after the credit crisis, the
financial markets appeared to be liquid again. But, as a consequence
of the credit crunch, fundraising has become more challenging as
banks began demanding higher loan securities and project evaluation
as a whole has become stricter. The objective of this study is to empirically measure the relative importance of criteria influencing the decision making of banks ("bankability of projects") and equity investors in large-scale (in MW-range), ground mounted PV projects. Specific attention is given to qualitative aspects of project assessment. The overarching goal is to generate conclusions on trade-offs banks and equity investors make when evaluating PV projects. Specific recommendations will be given to various stakeholders such as project developers (e.g. effective project design in order to increase funding probability), banks and equity investors (e.g. own and peer preferences and trade-offs related to project features), module producers (e.g. implications on module bankability) and service providers (e.g. consulting services in PV project due diligence). The study is organized in two parts: The first part comprises semi-structured in-depth expert interviews with different market actors. The aim is twofold: (1) to learn more about the criteria that banks and equity investors use for their investment decision-making, while focusing on qualitative aspects and trade-offs between decision criteria; (2) to increase our understanding about the meaning of bankability as a major investment criterion with distinct qualitative characteristics. Part two includes a quantitative, web-based survey based on a conjoint experiment to define the importance of and trade-offs between PV project attributes by international banks and equity investors. |

This came up at lunch today: What significant UI widget/method/approach has been successfully introduced for wide adoption by an entity other than Apple or Microsoft?
Ziya Nullius in Verba
Hi Andrew,
I've been using Tablet PC (Toshiba - portege 3505) for about 2 years now. If you are getting Tablet PC - I really recommend getting a hybrid (basically it's a laptop but if you swivel the screen, it becomes a tablet PC). Battery power on Toshiba and tablet PCs are not that great, hopefully newer models are better.
As for softwares, there are not many choices out there. Most of the times, I use MS Windows Journal for my sketching, but I have used sketching software from Corel and Alias.
It is interesting to think the fact that game is almost the only kind of computer application that is intended to be designed difficult to use. Why? my immediate thought is that all the other applications are tools for us to complete other tasks, so the physical control, the software UI ought to be designed intuitively, which means to cost as less coganitive effort as possible, so that user focus on the tasks rather the tools.
I'm exploring the purchase of a tablet-based PC for doing sketching, prototyping, and more.
I haven't seen one close up and I know T-Mobile ain't the best service in the world, but I just read the article on NY Times about the new blackberry ... http://www.blackberry.com/blackberry7100/index.shtml?CPID-ILC=nah7100t
It reduced its keyboard size, doubled up some letters and now there are only 20 keys (4 rows of 5), so that they reduced the width of the phone to be less than that of a treo 600 by .1". The only place I see blackberry's are at work.
I have to agree w/ what Jenifer said regarding monotony vs. redundancy in a GUI.
Even w/in my own habbits I do things in so many different ways. Take the "back button" in a browser. I have a thumb click on my mouse, I have alt+leftArrow, and I have well the back button. Oh!
Hello, Some of you will enjoy knowing about the Hole In the Wall project: http://www.niitholeinthewall.com/
The nub of the gist (from worldchanging.com): ......................... The concept is so simple that it stands on it's own.
Put a computer where kids can use it. Leave them alone. That's it.
When you think about it, children learn best out of curiosity. If you make a child do something on a computer, it's work. When they get to do it on their own - it's play.
Hi Mark.
I've looked around at IxD related education a bit. While I certainly haven't been completely exhaustive, most of it seems to be at grad school level. I believe there are a few undergraduate programs (Rensselaer's "Minds and Machines" program, for instance), but I'm not sure how many people you'll find how have "IxD" undergraduate degrees.
The "or related" part opens up some opportunities for you, however.

Scott Wrights Draft Countdown Mafia Sign-ups
Scott Wright's Draft Countdown Mafia
The tale of these forums are as old as life itself (if life itself started in 2004). From the highs of Draft Day celebrations and new Moderator announcements to the lows of March Madness Freakouts and attempts to go to the Mecca, this forum has been through a lot. Unfortunately, it is about to be rocked by the ultimate destruction. A number of formerly banned users have been plotting their revenge, some for years now, to complete the ultimate takeover of the Draftcountdown Forums and even the website itself. The banned users have now hacked the website! They now have the power to execute user accounts and are challenging the current users to find them. They have even hacked into various accounts and are posing as current users! Your job, if you choose to accept it, is to save the website and the forum from the nasty users with a grudge and ban them all! Game Start: Sunday December 2nd, 8:00 PM EST (Hopefully to finish/close to over when finals start hitting people) -Plan is for a two weekish game. -36 Hour Clock -This will likely be my last actual Mafia game to run or play in. Game will generally run like a standard mafia game with two caveats: 1. Role claiming AND "character" claiming are allowed 2. Each "character" will have a specific quirk that they must use each "day" they post. Some will give away their characters, some will not 3. I will have a roster of SWDC users to use based on sign-ups. So, if 25 people sign-up, I will have 25 non-banned user characters. Before the game, I will use random.org to assign however many members of the mafia there are to regular characters. They will then get both their Banned member character AND the regular character to pose as. (An example from the Star Wars game. The Luke Skywalker character may be randomly selected to Darth Vader to use as cover and not actually exist on the Rebel side). I will adjust night powers accordingly. 4. There will be power-up games every "Day". I will announce at the start of the Day when these will take place (they will only take place if voting has not ended by the time the power-up game occurs. Many will be trivia based. Let me know if you have any questions! Sign-ups +=confirmed
This is why we American football. Sign me up JBoobie.

Working Paper | HBS Working Paper Series | 2015 Competition as Strategic Interaction Kathleen Eisenhardt, Rory McDonald and Cheng Gao Strategic interaction has been a topic of scholarly inquiry dating back to the 1960s. Drawing on several seminal examples, we explore the nature of the concept, comparing it to other forms of competition in strategy and organizations. Next, we organize and review the findings of three ostensibly separate theoretical perspectives that have arisen from game theory, competitive dynamics, and institutional theory—each with its own assumptions, constructs, methods, and findings—and we identify core insights about how firms compete against one another in established markets. Based on our evaluation, we argue that a promising research opportunity for strategy lies in exploring how firms strategically interact in new markets and which moves are most effective in these contexts. Keywords: competitive strategy; strategic interaction; competitive moves; institutional contestation; new markets; Research; Competitive Strategy; Emerging Markets; Citation:Eisenhardt, Kathleen, Rory McDonald, and Cheng Gao.

Working Paper | HBS Working Paper Series | 2015 Entrepreneurial Beacons: The Yale Endowment, Run-ups, and the Growth of Venture Capital Rory McDonald, Y. Sekou Bermiss, Benjamin J. Hallen and Emily Cox Pahnke This paper investigates the social context of entrepreneurship in organizational sectors. Prior research suggests that firm foundings are driven by collective patterns of activity—that is, by patterns of prior foundings, of support from related markets, and of institutional activism in a given sector. Building on research on social salience and signals, we consider the influence of singular sector-level triggers, which we call entrepreneurial beacons. We argue that the actions or outcomes of salient organizations attract and motivate entrepreneurs, thus increasing the rate of foundings. To test this logic, we examine the impact of the Yale University endowment's investment choices and of venture-capital-backed IPO run-ups on venture-capital foundings between 1984 and 2011. The results pinpoint the aspects of the social environment that most heavily influence entrepreneurial activity and the dynamics of organizational sectors.

Rated 5 out of 5 by AmoryJ Comfortable, Soft Sweater
My son loves this sweater. It's thin enough to wear to school, which gets hot, and also comfortable enough to feel as good as a sweatshirt but with a dressier look. He got both the dark blue and green and they are both lovely colors that go well with khakis. He's 6'2# and 205 and the XL Tall fit best.

I bought this for my boyfriend as a gift and the L fits him perfectly. He's 6'8" with a slim build and the sleeves and length are great. I ran it though the wash and it held up fine after air drying. I recommend this for any guy looking for a nice quality, lighter fall/winter sweater!

British Open notebook: Defending champ found myriad uses for Claret Jug
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Stewart Cink returned the claret jug that he won last year at Turnberry, and he made sure it was clean. That took more work than it might have for other past champions.
The first drink poured from the jug was Guinness.
Then there was some fine wine for Cink and his wife, soda for his sons, even barbecue sauce. Turns out he used the jug to hold the sauce during a Fourth of July cookout at home in Georgia.
"It was really busy for the first two months or so, and then it sat in the house different places, got moved around," Cink said. "The kids decided where it went sometimes. I realize now how much attention it draws everywhere around the world. We definitely put it to good use, and it was an honor to be in possession of it."
Cink thought it was clean when he loaded it up to bring to Ireland (last week) and Scotland. His friend cleaned out the barbecue sauce after the holiday.
"But when I went and put it in the case, I noticed on the flight over to Dublin that some of it leaked out," he said. "So I went and investigated and found that there was still sauce inside that had to be cleaned out. I went and cleaned it in Dublin and got it nice and fresh and shined the outside. It was in fit condition when it went back."
Talking Tiger
Top officials from the first two majors this year have criticized Tiger Woods. That hasn't been the case at the British Open — so far.
Masters chairman Billy Payne made news in April for publicly taking Woods to task for his rampant affairs and not fulfilling his responsibility as a role model.
Royal and Ancient chief executive Peter Dawson has kept his thoughts to himself. Asked if he shared Payne's sentiments, Dawson said:
"Well, you notice we haven't made such a statement. So I'll just leave that one there."
Pressed further, Dawson said, "I think Tiger regrets many of the things of the past and, as he's said, he is trying to put them right. And I believe he is doing it and I believe he's succeeding, actually."
Watson finds new fans
Tom Watson knew the old guys were in his corner.
What caught him off guard was all the young folks who were inspired by his heartbreaking loss at last year's British Open.
"I hadn't had any kids come up to me for years. It was always kids coming up to me saying, 'My grandmother loves you,'" Watson said Wednesday with a chuckle. "But these kids came up and said, 'Hey, Mr. Watson, that was great last year at the British Open.' That's been a wonderful sidelight to what happened."
A few months shy of his 60th birthday, Watson was poised to become the oldest major winner in golf history but an approach shot that went a little too far and a potential clinching par putt that never had a chance snuffed out the fairy-tale ending.
Watson insists that he got over the disappointment in about 24 hours. But make no mistake, it sure hurt when he stood there on the 18th green at Turnberry, congratulating Cink.
"The loss is hard to take," Watson said. "It tore my guts up. But my guts have been torn up before out here in this game."
Challenge rained out
The British Open Champions' Challenge was canceled on Wednesday because of steady rain and howling winds at St. Andrews.
Twenty-six winners of golf's oldest major were scheduled to play a four-hole exhibition, including Woods, Cink and five-time winners Peter Thomson and Tom Watson.

General Question
Does anyone have any idea on how I can de-wax my cats tail?
Asked by kitszu (1311
December 5th, 2012
I have one of those candle warmers but the candle I used wasn't in a jar, so it's just a bowl of wax. I think my cat was bird watching and idle tail flicking and dipped his tail in the melted wax. Anyway, an inch at the end of his tail is waxed and it's driving him nuts. (And me, he's been very verbal about how displeased he is with the situation and the fact that I haven't rectified it yet.) I know all kinds of ways to get wax up or off of everything else, I've just never had to de-wax a cat before. Any suggestions?

Release 1.2
Originally I didn't plan to release any further Beta's as I felt no more work was needed, however after taking a look at the Documents I felt they were in need of an overdue update.
First, I have created an extra Document which lists the Evolutions, Item Changes, Ability Changes etc which do have a couple of new entries. I have created a separate Document for Level Up & Stat Changes which both are much more clear and readable than previously. This was my main aim for this release to sort out any misleading information on the Documents and to give them all a general tidy up.
Another couple of little extras I have added is two small events for Snorlax & Lapras, rather than finding them in the wild which is kind of lazy, I have assigned events to them similarly to the starters and legendaries. I've also added a couple of extra helpful items into the game whicn includes the Thick Club that can be found at Mossdeep City for Marowak.
Finally, I have edited some of the Wild Pokemon locations so that they are more suited to the habitat they are found in. I have made sure that all Pokemon that are usually found on Water Routes that you can only catch by obtaining Surf such as Seel, Feebas, Qwilfish etc. are all available before the third gym, these can be obtained by using the Old Rod on specific Routes or Towns (You can find a list of all these in the Wild Pokemon Locations Document)
So basically I would recommend downloading this Beta as it has a major aesthetic change to the Documents providing much more clear information, a few tweaks to leaders (and others) teams i.e Flannery now uses Flareon and you can obtain some Event Pokemon in a more interactive way.
A couple of images of the changes for Beta 1.2 below.

1999 Honda Prelude Overview
Overall User Score
Based on 24 reviews
The 1999 Honda Prelude, along with the other Preludes, is considered by some to be the poor man's Lamborghini. And one can see why. The 2.2-liter engine, with dual overhead camshafts, has four valves in each cylinder and multi-point programmed fuel injection. All this means is that the 1999 Honda Prelude offers big impact and super revving speeds.
The twin bucket seats, the great stereo sound system, and the cool new mesh grille, all contribute to the car's appeal.
Also, this year, Honda introduced the new torque transfer system, which helps the cornering characteristics of a rear-wheel-drive vehicle on one that applies power to the front wheels. But only on the SH model.

Looks like we're getting the start of NYCC-week announcements today. DC tells The New York Post:
DC will reveal some big-time creators who'll be jumping on board the "New 52" — the 52 titles it just launched with fresh takes on iconic characters like Superman, the Flash and Wonder Woman.
The first name to drop is Andy Kubert joining Grant Morrison on Action Comics for #5 and #6. The DCU blog elaborates:
Fresh off of his bestselling FLASHPOINT miniseries, industry legend Andy Kubert will be joining critically acclaimed writer Grant Morrison for a special, two-issue arc of ACTION COMICS in DC COMICS-THE NEW 52. Issues #5 and #6 will guest star the Legion of Super-Heroes, while also laying groundwork for things to come much, much later in Superman's story. And keep an eye out for Krypto!
"When Editor Matt Idelson asked if I would be interested and/or able to fit into my schedule two upcoming issues of Action Comics with Grant, I couldn't say no," said Kubert. "I don't know of any other artist that would have. Drawing the latest incarnation of Superman and working with one of the best writers on the planet made it a very easy decision for me. And in this story, I get to do some VERY iconic stuff! I gotta admit, I'm a little nervous… Fun Fact for those keeping score: I had never drawn Superman in a comics interior for an entire issue. I had done inking over Dan Jurgens and Jerry Ordway for an issue each over their beautiful pencils way (and I mean WAY) back when but this is my first opportunity to pencil the Man of Steel interior pages for my very own!"
After Kubert's two-issue take on ACTION COMICS, Rags Morales will return as the series' regular artist.

Staff Reporter
KOLLAM: Communist Party of India (Marxist) State secretary Pinarayi Vijayan has said that the collapse of the public distribution system (PDS) is the cause of the ``unbearable price rise'' in the country.
Inaugurating a dharna organised by the district unit of the party in front of the Head Post Office here on Tuesday in protest against price rise, Mr. Vijayan said the policy of the Left parties was to strengthen the PDS. He warned of a nation-wide agitation if the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government at the Centre failed to strengthen the PDS. He alleged that the UPA Government was not interested in strengthening the PDS.
He said the Left Democratic Front Government, with the active support of the Civil Supplies Department and the cooperative sector, had appreciably brought down the prices.
He claimed that the price rise in Kerala was much below the national average.
Later, the CPI(M) activists courted arrest. The dharna was led by CPI(M) district secretary K. Rajagopal and the CPI(M) leaders X. Earnest, Rajendra Babu, K. Thusalidharan and K. Varadharajan.

Hiring Patrick Shaughnessy to landscape her new inn was strictly a business arrangement. Until April Ross got to know the war-scarred single father
and his irrepressible little girl. Patrick made it clear he wasn't looking for romance. Neither was April. But could she make him see that some risks were worth taking?
The lively, widowed blonde might be the most tempting woman Patrick had ever known, but the returning vet knew a happy ending wasn't in the cards. Still, that was before April started working her magic on his daughter
and on him. Maybe this Christmas was a time for new beginnings-if Patrick had the courage to go with the powerful feelings April had awakened in him

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 26, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Non-violent resistance brings about political change much more effectively than the use of violence, say two scholars who have won the 2013 University of Louisville Grawemeyer Award for Ideas Improving World Order.
Erica Chenoweth, an assistant professor at the University of Denver, and Maria Stephan, a lead foreign affairs officer with the U.S. State Department, earned the prize for the ideas set forth in their book, "Why Civil Resistance Works: The Strategic Logic of Non-Violent Conflict." Columbia University Press published the book in 2011.
Chenoweth and Stephan collected and analyzed data on all known uprisings between 1900 and 2006 involving more than 1,000 people that related to a country's secession, overthrow of a dictatorship or removal of a foreign occupation. They learned that the non-violent campaigns succeeded twice as often as the violent ones—even in the face of brutal repression.
They also found that the governments of countries where the peaceful resistance took place were far more likely to become or remain stable democracies afterward.
In the non-violent campaigns they studied, unarmed civilians used a mix of strikes, boycotts, protests and demonstrations, while bombings, assassinations and armed attacks were predominant among the violent movements.
"The implications of their work are enormous," said award director Charles Ziegler. "Not only do their findings validate the work done by Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., but they shed new light on the political change we're seeing today, such as the Arab Spring process in Egypt and other Middle Eastern nations."
Chenoweth, who works in the University of Denver's Josef Korbel School of International Studies, directs that school's Program on Terrorism and Insurgency Research. Previously, she was an assistant professor at Wesleyan University in Connecticut.
Stephan, who now works to support the Syrian opposition, previously was assigned to the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. Before that, she worked with the European/NATO policy office of the U.S. Department of Defense and NATO Headquarters in Brussels.
UofL presents four Grawemeyer Awards each year for outstanding works in music composition, world order, psychology and education. The university and Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary jointly give a fifth award in religion. This year's awards are $100,000 each.
